To my dear friend Carol:

Words cannot express how sorry I am to hear about your Dad. My heart broke this past Sunday when I saw his picture at the VA. Know now that he is in a much better place and looking down upon you every day. I will never forget you and the way you would look after my Dad. His face would light up every time he saw you. May your Dad rest in peace and may God Bless you and JB.

Mr. Marshall,
Sir, I didn't know you but I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when you served in the U.S. Navy during WW II and for being a member of the Greatest Generation. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
